Another day, another feud: this time, Ronnie Radke aims at Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chilli Peppers
I’ve said that before: no one can hide from Ronnie Radke. He’s like a modern superhero, shaming people who have done wrong with the power of social media. Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis has been criticized by Falling In Reverse singer Ronnie Radke this time around. In a recently removed video from his TikTok, Radke vented his anger at Kiedis for acknowledging in his 2004 memoir “Scar Tissue” that he had a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. Kiedis, who was believed to be in his twenties at the time, later learned the girl’s age in that book, but he still acknowledged having another sexual contact in spite of the information. The Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ song “Catholic School Girls Rule” from 1985 was subsequently inspired by that relationship. Kiedis recently participated in a charity event for the victims of the wildfires in California, which put him on Radke’s radar. Guitarist Brent Woods was the house guitarist for the fundraiser show, which was directed by Kiedis’ bandmate Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Radke has previously criticized Woods, claiming that the musician had had sexual encounters with a minor. Beyond that connection, Radke also disparaged Kiedis’ musical prowess, suggesting that he and Smith were involved in any alleged wrongdoing by Woods.
Anthony Kiedis, stop singing. You sound like f*cking sh*t. You’re f*cking terrible at singing. You’ve never been good at singing. Your whole band f*cking sucks. The only thing good about your band is Flea because he takes his f*cking clothes off and he has his dick hanging from a sock, and he’s pretty good at bass. The rest of your band’s f*cking ass. F*ck you guys.
Following a series of accusations against Kiedis, Radke went on to level similar charges against Woods, glam metal singer Tracii Guns, and radio personality Eddie Trunk.
If I hear one person say “I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers,’ I’m swinging on you.
